Well, after speaking with the guys at Mercury Motorsport, they've come up with a few different options for us.

It will probably have to be late august/early september by the time we do it because of all the other events in the social calendar!

But the options we now have are to do a night time dyno! Either a friday night starting at 6pm or a saturday night starting at 5pm. This will still be $45 per car, but the numbers will be reduced.

We can still do it on a saturday for $45 per car for around 20 cars, and cheaper for 30 cars.

OR we have the option of doing it on a sunday. IT will be slightly more expensive at $50 per car, but it may be more convenient for people with their social calendars.

Remember this does include a sausage sizzle lunch and the entertainment facilities at the shop.

SO what I ask for now, is for people to say whether they would want a Friday Night, Saturday, Saturday Night or a Sunday and any dates they are available between end of august and middle of september.

Go nuts!

Also, people's opinions on opening up the invite to another club if the numbers aren't reached to have an exclusive day. Please let us know your opinion on the matter, and who you might like to invite. (Eg. WRX club or something) It will be a CLUB that is invited.. Not a website (Eg. Boostcruising or Qld Streetcar).
How bout inviting the Nissan SVD club and the Z Car club as they both have invited us to their dyno days?

At the moment I'd like to keep it exclusively to SAU. Most of the R31 club are on here anyway, so they can come along. All are welcome!

Sometimes people work saturday's that's all. So I was trying to give different options for people.

I might make a poll.

obviously whatever day/date/time it ends up been ill try and make it as will others but id have to say i think the friday option will be not very popular with most people from the way i see it there are a few reasons why like..... if u have to travel like i do (1.5 hrs or so) the friday thing makes it mean an after work dash and then a mad dash home before i fall asleep at the wheel lol... plus people living within bris area its still a decent drive for most people...... im not trying to make it all my own way just pointing out what i hope are a few decent pros/cons for each..... sat or sunday and i rekon ill be able to come and relax .... a poll is a good idea :( i cant wait to see everyones cars on the dyno :) wish mine could go on :)

I know the Friday night option might not be good, but it's still an option so I thought I'd put it down.

I personally would rather it not on a friday night because i'd rather come home and relax from the week. But what the masses want, the masses will get.

Also, please don't vote if you have no intention of turning up.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
